Douluo Continent: I Raise God-Level Soul Beasts

"I will prepare some local entertainment and delicious food for you all from Poseidon Island to show my hospitality and make sure your trip is worthwhile."

Poseidon stood up, and just then the sea breeze blew, lifting her beautiful hair and making her look charming.

Su Ze shook his head and stood up as well: "I appreciate your kindness, but maybe next time. It's getting late, and I have to get home."

As he spoke, Su Ze began tidying up, putting the Demon Soul Great White Shark into the Soul Guidance Device, then the Holy Pillar Stone, and then pots, pans, and so on.

At that moment, Poseidon wanted to go up and take the pillar back.

But reason prevailed over her.

"Go home? Poseidon Island is far from the mainland. Even if you leave now, you won't be able to go back."

Poseidon said.

You'll never know what speed truly means until you've witnessed Su Ze's speed.

"I think that should be fine. How about this, I'll come visit you guys again next time I have the chance."

Su Ze smiled, turned to look at his ship, and fell into thought:

Damn... we were driving too fast on the way here, the ship's deck is already cracked...

"Um... do you have any boats for sale here? I'd like to buy one."

"No, no!"

Poseidon said, "We strictly control the movement of ships on Poseidon Island, and the number of ships is limited. Moreover, sailing at night is prohibited to avoid any accidents! Tomorrow, I can arrange a ship for you to land!"

As soon as she spoke, fishing boats began to emerge from the sea on one side of Poseidon Island. A Sea Soul Master exclaimed excitedly, making Poseidon's face burn with embarrassment:

"Yay! Time to go fishing! The fish are most active at night, it's paradise for us fishermen!"

Su Ze, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu: "..."

Chapter 72 I've Become a Quasi-God?!

The shimmering sea reflected countless colorful lights under the glow of the sunset.

Nestled amidst the embrace of the sea, a small island rises abruptly from the center of the ring-shaped waters, an island within an island.

The island is quite high, about 500 meters above sea level. What's most peculiar is that the island is shrouded in a faint golden light. Although the light is not strong, it is clear that it is not the light of the sunset, but the island's own natural radiance.

At the top of the island is a building that looks like it was carved from white jade. It is square with a dome, and the outermost part of the building is composed of huge white stone pillars.

The building materials used in its construction are crystal clear and shimmering, radiating a sacred, sea-blue glow.

That is the Temple of Poseidon.

In front of the Temple of Poseidon, stone steps extend downwards. Bathed in the glow of the sunset, the white stone steps reflect light, resembling a jade ribbon gently draped over Poseidon Mountain.

Although the sacred pillar stone has been excavated, the palace, which has long been nourished by the power of the sea god, has not faded and still maintains its noble appearance for the time being.

That is the Sea God Temple. Only the guardians of Sea God Island who have passed the Sea God's purple-level or higher test can step onto the steps to worship; otherwise, they will be blocked by the light of the Sea God.

Standing in the middle of the Neptune Steps, Poseidon looked at the setting sun on the horizon and sighed.

In the end, she still couldn't keep Su Ze.

She also did not prepare a ship for Su Ze to leave on.

He didn't blame her for lying, but he sighed inwardly, thinking that although this woman was beautiful and had a good figure, she must have something on her mind.

Don't misunderstand, it's the "spirit" in "spirit".

Su Ze took out a surfboard from his soul tool and rode it away from Poseidon Island.

Although Poseidon said the journey was long, he didn't think he could make it back.

Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu naturally gave chase immediately. Qian Daoliu, with the fastest flight speed, wasn't immediately left behind. He said to Su Ze:

"Young friend Su Ze, I visited a place called Youran Manor last time! That must be your residence, right? I didn't go in then for fear of disturbing your peace and quiet. I will definitely pay you a visit next time, and I hope you won't refuse!"

Immediately, Su Ze left her behind, and only a faint reply was drowned out by the sound of the waves: "Okay... welcome to visit..."

Looking at that graceful and deep abyss carved out by the surfboard, one can't help but sigh:

"This recreational toy has actually transformed into a powerful ocean navigation artifact under the feet of young friend Su Ze!"

At this moment, Poseidon stepped into the temple of Poseidon, with several guardians of the island of Poseidon behind her.

Starfish asked, "High Priest, have the Holy Pillar Stones been retrieved?"

Hai Mao said calmly, "With the High Priest involved, is there anything he can't accomplish? Don't worry, there won't be any problems!"

"No, the Holy Pillar Stone was taken by that young man named Su Ze."

Poseidon's sudden words startled both Sea Spear and Starfish.

Hailong said urgently, "Why did the High Priest let him leave? No, the Sacred Pillar Stone is related to the safety of Seagod Island, I'm going after him!"

Sea Dragon Douluo turned to rush out, but was stopped by Poseidon on the spot: "Stop! No one is allowed to cause him trouble. All of you combined are no match for him."

"Is he really that strong?"

Upon hearing this question, Poseidon, Starfish, and the others fell silent.

After a long pause, Poseidon said, "I will get the Holy Pillar Stone back sooner or later, but until then, no one is allowed to go to him or cause trouble, understand?"

"Also, tell those two guys, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, that they either get out of Seagod Island or, if they still have ulterior motives, settle the score in seven days."

After leaving those words, Poseidon continued climbing the steps and soon arrived at the Temple of Poseidon.

She has managed to get the address of the manor from Su Ze. Although the process is hard to describe, she will go to him sooner or later, and that day will not be too far away.

As for Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, if they are sensible enough to leave and not become enemies of Seagod Island, then the past will be forgotten and it will be as if it never happened.

She will not be polite to anyone who dares to cause trouble!

You have to understand, she had already been holding back a lot of anger in front of Su Ze. If these two, whose strength was no greater than hers, were to court death, then she wouldn't be blamed!

But for some reason, she felt a strange sense of relief when the Holy Pillar Stone was taken away.

It was as if the burden of being a servant of the gods and the feeling of being watched by the gods had been greatly reduced.

This seemed like a disrespect to God and a betrayal of her mission, which made her feel deeply guilty.

In fact, this is only human nature. Even true gods have strong selfish desires and cannot live for their faith, their people, or the world. How much more so for her, who is merely a servant of a god.

For decades, the days of dedicating oneself to the gods were monotonous and tedious, with no room for advancement.

Once you become a servant of God, you will always be a servant of God.

Until the successor of the gods appeared, the servants of the gods offered their lives to build a channel of divine power for the new gods.

That was a path of waiting to die day after day, year after year, which wore away her soul and energy.

This moment of relaxation is both fleeting and eternal.

"A divine-level soul bone, then let me witness your power."

Upon reaching the interior of the Sea God Temple, a place forbidden to all Sea Soul Masters, she found herself alone in its desolate and majestic atmosphere.

At this moment, she took out the divine chicken bone she had eaten in the coconut chicken earlier and went to the cultivation room.

Streams of soul power were poured into the soul bone, revealing its true form.

It was a vermilion left arm bone, covered with reddish-gold patterns, the shape of which resembled a phoenix, making it look like a meticulously carved work of art.

The appearance of this power startled even Poseidon, who was a Limit Douluo.

This is the complete opposite of the power of the sea god; the ocean is deep, serene, and vast.

This soul bone is passionate, impulsive, and has the ambition to break through the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods of the sun and moon!

Poseidon's exquisite face tightened, and she finally sat down cross-legged, deciding to try to absorb this divine bone.

Soon, the two forces interacted and collided, causing Poseidon immense pain.

Her body became a testing ground, where the power of the Sea God clashed with the power of the Crimson Phoenix Soul Bone.

To integrate the Crimson Phoenix Soul Bone into her body would be akin to cutting off the original arm bone and then grafting it back on—a painful process.

Even worse!

Poseidon broke out in a cold sweat, which quickly soaked her clothes. The surrounding area was shrouded in a misty fog, making her exquisite body appear hazy.

"Mmm~ Ugh!"

Painful gasps escaped from her bright red lips.

She didn't know how much time had passed.

It might be three days, or five days, or even seven days.

Finally, a fiery red phoenix coiled around her left arm, and the soul power around her transformed into red and blue polarities.

At this moment, her strength has reached a new level.

Poseidon opened her eyes, and through the hazy mist, she could vaguely see the skin beneath her clothes. She had sweated so much, and the process had been so painful, that she almost thought she couldn't take it.

"The mark of the sea god within me has faded..."

Poseidon's lips were still a little pale. After taking a moment to assess her condition, she was surprised to find that she had actually broken through!

This is truly a piece of divine beast bone!

"Is this...the realm of gods?"

“No, no, perhaps it would be more accurate to call him a demigod or a quasi-god…” Poseidon murmured.

Chapter 73 Quasi-God Power; Research and Development of Whale-like Sea Spirit Beasts

"How is that possible...."

Poseidon felt an incredible surge of power within herself, a power she had previously only been able to barely achieve with the aid of the sea god.

But now, this power belongs entirely to me!

With her own soul power, she can reach the level she previously reached when she borrowed the power of the sea god!

The power within her is transforming from soul power to divine power!

This is a demigod, this is a near-god! God-like yet not truly god-like!
